Summary

Introduces the open-source network monitoring tool Sniffnet, an easy-to-use alternative to Wireshark, supporting real-time traffic monitoring, filtering, PCAP import/export, friendly interface, and cross-platform support.

Finally found an open-source alternative to Wireshark. Sniffnet, with 37k stars on GitHub, makes network monitoring understandable for ordinary people. Many people's first reaction when opening Wireshark is: I don't understand, close it. Sniffnet is completely different. It displays real-time upload/download traffic, connected hosts, visited domains, IP geolocation, and even shows which software is secretly connecting to the internet. Supports traffic filtering, PCAP import/export, and multi-NIC monitoring. Most importantly, the interface is very pleasant. No need to study packet capture rules or learn complex commands; open it and see who your computer is communicating with. Many users treat it as a free alternative to GlassWire. (Windows Central​) Supports Windows, macOS, Linux (cross-platform), written in Rust, and uses very low resources. (GitHub​) For people who frequently deal with proxies, NAS, Docker, servers, this is definitely an essential tool for any setup. https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet…
